Short description : American educator. Massachusetts Institute of Technology B. Nine years later, his nonprofit organization, Khan Academy, draws on the same approach to offer more than 5, free, web-based video lessons to millions of students across the globe, disrupting not only schools but also the education industry built around them.
The one meta-level thing is to take agency over your own learning. What questions do I need to ask? If you want to get more tangible, I would say learn how to program a computer, more about the law, and definitely statistics. In your book, you talk about curiosity being stamped out of kids. How do you bring it back? Curiosity is a hard thing to squash, but the traditional model of education manages pretty well: Listen to lectures, take notes, feed back what you learned, and then forget it all.
Khan Academy is all about giving more breathing room. You want to go deep? Go deep. I had this to some degree at the public school I went to in Louisiana, where there were gifted programs.
Every day, starting in second grade, they took me out of class for an hour, and I would go to another room, with a mixed age group. The first time I went, I thought it was the biggest racket. I like puzzles.
Have you done Mind Benders? And I learned more that applies to what I do today than in the five other hours of the day combined. Historically, it was hard to do in a scalable way.
How do you personalize education for 30 kids without breaking the bank? The idea that you do K—12, four years of college, maybe some grad school, and then stop learning is a myth.
The book applies to lifelong learning: Go at your own pace, master content before moving on, and do it without disrupting your current work and productivity. A lot of corporations, when they do training, mimic the classroom. They create corporate universities; people have to take time off and listen to lectures. We also want evidence of how you work with other people, the leadership you exhibit, and what your peers think of you.
Your findings on the limits of human concentration seem relevant too. Especially with dense subject matter, humans can pay attention for 10 to 15 minutes before they zone out. You zone back in for eight or nine minutes, then you zone out again. The zoning in gets shorter; the zoning out gets longer. That has consequences in a work setting, too. How much of that came to you intuitively, and how much did you learn along the way?
Are you talking down to people, or above them? When you have a strong foundation, everything falls into place a lot easier later on.
You have to do some planning, but you get real information only when you put something out there, observe people using it, get data, and quickly iterate to throw something else out.
